@optimaximal Jenson has actually said something about how he’s learned some engineering during his time in F1. And although most people know what these awards are they are called ‘degrees’, after all, which they […]

yup, another solid reason why not to let Bottas go @optimaximal (much the same reasoning is why Perez is not much mentioned, because FI would lose too many sponsors by such a move to even be able to consider it.). […]

I agree with that @optimaximal, Zak Brown is a good hire (although nobody can replace Dennis IMO). I must say that I am a bit curious though about him maybe leaving to run the marketing for FOM in the future anyway

The stewards said they examined the telemetry @optimaximal, which they get transmitted each lap, and saw he lifted, not to gain a lasting advantage. Plus it was Turn 1 of course, and Rosberg wasn’t really […]

@optimaximal, No, no, no, not 05, more like 65, or if you insist on having tyre management as a feature think the Prost/Senna era. Exactly what do you mean by a “bust-up”? if you mean a bit of a battle for […]

@optimaximal@bascb@petebaldwin I’ve read Joe’s notebook. Don’t know how many of those in for the Swift concert didn’t stay for Sunday but I’m sure quite a few did because of, as JS said, “the males in their […]

@optimaximal What about Webber making way to his long-time friend Alonso? So Alonso could see how Porsche AND McLaren perform in 2017. If he likes the McLaren, he stays: If he doesn’t, he switches to WEC and […]

@schooner@optimaximal – It would be absurd and outrageous if it wasn’t Nick Tandy. As the man who, on the back of his completely unmatched night-time pace, claimed the first Le Mans win of Porsche’s return. […]

@optimaximal, agreed – the Mercedes clutch is clearly fickle and delicate to deal with!
Good points you make as well about potential design compromises they may have made, to make it as light and simple as […]

those are to be considered te be “the incidents that didn’t quite come off” I guess @optimaximal, part of the learning process. Although in my view the penalty against Verstappen that Rosberg received would […]

I don’t know much about Eason @optimaximal, but what I do know is that there’s more to it than just leading criticism. It’s not about bashing Lewis Hamilton, it’s pointing out the blatant disrespect and disregard […]
